CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.
Rootsy, poppy, American. There is a trend in music to recapture the essence of what it is to be American. Americana, no depression, alt.country, insurgent country.... it's American music. It's rock and roll.

notes
"A classic Son Volt style with brilliant lyrics, harmonies, big musicianship, and a big-piece sound to create hit-ready songs. Their new album is amazing."
- Chris Lausch - the Bitter End
Wayne Supergenius writes the old fashioned kind of song. The big hook, the unforgettable melody, the crafted solo that many who have been sucked into the dreary world of the image conscious have missed. Or to quote Peter Bothum of Rockpile magazine:
"With such a true-blue batch of solid rock songs, timing is irrelevant."
With influences ranging from Gram Parsons and Willie Nelson to the Replacements and the Afghan Whigs, the songs explore love and loss and lust and guilt without bowing to cliched sentiment or trendy stylings.
The Fly magazine (February) says about The Tonight Show:
"Capture(s) the essence of heart-on-your sleeve alt.country soul-searching."
"Catchy, rootsy power pop without any annoying pretense. Reminiscent of early Wilco, the Jayhawks, a little Flying Burrito Brothers."
- The Fly magazine, February
